Trade Would you trade CJ... The Super Duper Trade Thread!

The cheese and bacon stuffed crust at pizza hut is way better than CJ can ever be in the NBA

 

Pizza Hut SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS

 

how the fuck do you get $30,000 of damages to carpets? the way this place was "damaged", it seems as though, to me anyways, he moved out and then someone broke in and had a party. either that or the landlords screwed with the house when he moved out. something just seems fishy to me about the charges and stuff. how to the landlords know it's Gatorade stains?

 

They did not like playing together though. CJ and Dame do. As much as I value Ellis, he does not always seem to fit in with his teammates on the court.

 

...because i sure as shit wouldn't. y'all should stop with the CJ trade stuff. the dude is a great asset to the team. why screw that up?

 

Actually, the reason the Warriors traded Ellis was two fold.

1. He was a ball stopper according to their scouts. The flow of the offense was affected. And they wanted him to give Curry more shots in the backcourt (which he resisted).
2. They had just drafted a very big SG by the name of Klay Thompson a few months before the deal and they were ready to turn the position over to him.

Of course defense also contributed to it (as it does to our two guys) but I don't see CJ being a ball-stopper that doesn't get Lillard involved and I don't see where Crabbe is ready to be our Klay Thompson.

So it is easy to throw out Curry and Ellis as the same situation as Dame and CJ but it just isn't when you look at it logically.

 

I'm done trading Jermaine for Dale Davis over and over again. I don't care if I'm called irrational for overvaluing our talent; I AM IRRATIONAL. BIG FUCKING DEAL. I like CJ and want him with us for as long as possible.

 

We need this Satire, trading CJ has become an obsession on this board.

 

For 1 bundle of sticks?

 

I love CJ, but if you can't sign what we are missing in FA, but can trade for him using CJ, and sign a Derozen, it has to at least be discussed.

 

@SlyPokerDawg @Denny Crane @Strenuus can we merge some threads?

 

No, this deserves its own thread.

 

Jumping in here withe my humble opinion, if CJ couldn't play the point as effectively as he does, I'd be inclined to agree that moving him makes sense. But since he does play the point so well, he makes for a situation where the Blazers can mix and match lineups so effectively that it makes them dangerous even when Dame is out of the game. That's a luxury that not many teams have. Ellis couldn't play the point, so his only position was as an undersized 2G. I'd much rather keep Dame and CJ, re-sign Crabbe, and use the max contract space to get an established PF or C.

 

Ok I can agree with all that but with a cavet.

It still goes back to it was much easier for them to do that and a much smarter choice because of the alternative they had.
If we aren't trading CJ for a SG (which is almost a given - as you wouldn't move him for the same position unless you thought it a win - and then why would the other team want to lose?) then you are probably also moving him for a big (like they did) which is great in theory but doesn't help us anymore than keeping CJ in my mind due to the big hole at SG.

So their situation allowed them to make that deal where ours does not give us as big of a luxury. So the comparison in style is fine but they didn't move the player only due to style as much as they moved the player due to him being a knucklehead and needing to improve in other areas while simultaneously opening up time for a young stud to come in. We only check mark 1 of those 3 unlike them check marking all 3.

 

Some threads should be merged in the recycle bin.

 

Fuck it. Let's trade dame for the first pick and Cj for the second.
